let’s get wacky
Scientology is widely known for its use of “auditing,” a form
of one-on-one counseling in which a lie detector-like instrument
called an E meter is used to help a person erase negative
experiences, assertedly freeing him to achieve his full potential.
The group bases its beliefs on the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the
reclusive science-fiction writer who in the early 1950s published
the best seller “Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health.” What is rarely discussed, however, is Hubbard’s secret
teachings, which reveal his thoughts on why mankind has been
plagued by problems through history, the topic of the disputed
documents. Before Scientology attorneys had requested an order to seal
the documents, The Times obtained them from the court file.
Generally, they suggest that a major cause of mankind’s problems
began 75 million years ago, when the planet Earth, then called
Teegeeach, was part of a confederation of 90 planets under the
leadership of a tyrannical ruler named Xenu. Then, as now, the
materials state, the chief problem was overpopulation. Xenu, the documents state, decided to take radical measures to
overcome the overpopulation problem. Beings were captured on Earth
and on other planets and flown to at least 10 volcanoes on Earth. The documents state that H-bombs far more powerful than any in
existence today were dropped on these volcanoes, destroying the
people but freeing their spirits—called thetans—which attached
themselves to one another in clusters. After the nuclear explosions, according to the documents, the
thetans were trapped in a compound of frozen alcohol and glycol
and, during a 36-day period, Xenu “implanted” in them the seeds of
aberrant behavior for generations to come. When people die, these
clusters attach to other humans and keep perpetuating themselves. Before a Scientologist can learn about these thetans and how
to eradicate them, he must go through a progression of costly
programs.
Sadly a really cool Scientology recruitment booklet from the 70s is no longer available from bloodyspew.com. What, no mirrors of this valuable internet resource!? I smell a conspiracy. Luckily I saved the excerpt detailing our computerized society.
You can’t keep a bad Xenu down.
